Bella Vista Cellars

As is typical on farms throughout Italy, Bella Vista Ranch provides the home to both grape vines and a winery. Bella Vista Cellars crafts country wines in the old-world tradition. When you visit the ranch you'll tour the grounds, with a close-up look at the various home-grown grapes, blackberries and other fruit that we use in these hand-crafted wines. Our tours provide a look at wine making from an agricultural standpoint, as well as providing opportunities to see small-scale wine-making up close and literally tasting the "fruits" of our labor.

DirectionsFrom Austin...From Central Austin proceed down MoPac to Hwy 290 and then to Oak Hill. At the intersection of 290 and Hwy 71, continue on Hwy 290 to Dripping Springs (15 miles). Upon entering Dripping Springs you will encounter a stop light at the intersection of Ranch Road 12 and Hwy 290. Turn left on RR 12. Go 10.6 miles south on RR 12 to County Road 182 (on your right you will see the CR marker...you will also see a sign for the VFW Rodeo). Turn right on CR 182 (aka Jacobs Well Rd) and proceed 1.6 miles to the stop sign. Turn right at the stop sign (Mt Sharp Rd) and go north exactly 2.0 miles to our gate. From Wimberley... From the Wimberley Square proceed north on RR 12 until you reach CR 182 (Jacob's Well Rd, approximately 3.5 miles north). Turn left onto Jacob's Well Rd and proceed 1.6 miles to the stop sign. Turn right at the stop sign (Mt Sharp Rd) and go north exactly 2.0 miles to our gate. From San Antonio...Use the most efficient route from your San Antonio location (either Hwy 281 through Blanco, or IH 35 through San Marcos) to get to the Wimberley Square. Then follow the directions shown above from the Wimberley Square. If approaching Wimberley from Blanco, do not turn left at the sign that says "Mt Sharp Rd." (CR219). That is not the same Mt. Sharp Rd. that the Ranch is located on. You will become hopelessly lost.
